Your aircon might look fine on the outside, but if the air feels weak or uneven, the problem could be hiding inside — most likely in the blower wheel.
But what exactly is the blower wheel, and how can you tell when it’s not working right?
Let’s break it down.
What Is the Blower Wheel?
To start, the blower wheel is the part that pushes cool air from your aircon into the room.
If it’s dirty, damaged, or unbalanced, airflow will suffer.
Signs Your Blower Wheel Is Faulty
So, how can you tell if your blower wheel is the issue?
Here are the common signs:
Weak airflow – Even on high settings, air barely comes out.
Strange noises – You might hear rattling or vibrating sounds.
Uneven cooling – Some areas of the room are cold, others are warm.
Dust buildup – Dusty vents could mean the wheel isn’t circulating air properly.
Higher energy bills – Your unit works harder but cools less.
Why It Happens
Usually, these problems are caused by:
Dust and grime clogging the blades
A misaligned or unbalanced wheel
Loose or broken parts
Over time, these small issues lead to bigger damage and higher costs.
What You Should Do
First, avoid turning up the temperature or fan speed — it won’t fix the root problem.
Instead, book a professional check-up to inspect the blower wheel.
